Ice
Conjure One ft Jaren Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And shadows grew so long.
She stole her way
Into your empty heart
And she moved like ice
She ooooh.
She was cool and blue like ice
She changed her directions
What could you do.
She was fleet on foot
A little sleight of hands
Your life became
An hourglass with no sand
Wrapped up safe inside
A place where you could hide
She cried for you
Like a mothers arms
And she moved like ice
She oh, oh.
She was cruel and blue like ice
No faults or imperfections
She changed her directions
What could you do
And she moved like ice
She oh, oh.
She was cruel and blue like ice.
Half way between heaven and her hands
Was a place for you to land
What could you do
She was someone so to hide
She was someone so hard to find.
You were almost lost a certain hours
You were so safe in those towers.
What can you do?
She oh, oh.
What could you do?
She oh, oh.
She was cruel and blue like ice.
No faults and no imperfections
She changed her direction.
What could you do
And she moved like ice
She oh..oh.
She was cruel and blue like ice
Half way between heaven and her hands
Was a place for you to land
What could you do.
She was oh, oh.
And she moved like ice.

Line by Line Meaning
When the sun was strong
During the time of great joy and warmth
And shadows grew so long.
And times were becoming tiresome
She stole her way
She entered without permission
Into your empty heart
Into an unoccupied spirit
And she moved like ice
She was cold and unforgiving
She was cool and blue like ice
Emotionally detached and perfect
No faults or imperfections
Without flaws or shortcomings
She changed her directions
She was unpredictable
What could you do.
What options did you have?
She was fleet on foot
She was quick and agile
A little sleight of hands
A slight of hand
Your life became
Your existence turned into
An hourglass with no sand
A timer that stopped working
Wrapped up safe inside
Protected and secure
A place where you could hide
A sanctuary for you to take refuge
She cried for you
She showed compassion for you
Like a mothers arms
As comforting as a mother's embrace
Half way between heaven and her hands
Between a perfect scenario and her influence
Was a place for you to land
A safe place to fall
She was someone so to hide
A person difficult to reveal
She was someone so hard to find.
A person difficult to discover
You were almost lost a certain hours
You were almost spent at times
You were so safe in those towers.
You were protected by your barriers
What can you do?
What actions could be taken?
She was cruel and blue like ice.
She was coldhearted and emotionless
